Installed the new updates and everything went nuts, so here's how:

I made an installer out of a 4g thumb drive and put Win10 on my Dell Latitude. All seemed to be going well until this afternoon when I started to customize and personalize the machine. I saw I had some updates. So, I installed the new updates and then, everything went nuts, so here's how:

- A Logitech error message (something to do with a "Set Point Event" - I am using a Logitech mouse) flashed repeatedly to kick off the circus.
- The screen began flashing, from black to the blue color I'd chosen.
- The Start panel would flash open, only to close within a half second. It was a real feat to hit the right spot to actually shut the machine down.
- A box slid in from the right hand side informing me of a problem with iCloud.

I have no idea what to do. I just installed Win 10 a few days ago. I was looking forward to having some fun learning my "new" machine.

Any ideas where I go from here, guys? Thanks to all as usual. You are the greatest bunch.

Oh, I'm sorry, I should have made it clear at the start. Despite my handle, I don't have the VAIO any longer. I am running a Dell Latitude with the Win10 installation that's having the trouble. This is my fault.

OK, here's what I plan to do: I've taken the bottom panel off the Latitude E6410. One side issue has been that the machine seemed to be running hot. I went to the store and got some canned air (yike$$$) so I can blow out the fan area. Nothing seems to be clogged up, but who knows?

Then, I'll see what's up with Logitech. If I have Win 10 operating, maybe I can install a driver and THAT problem will go away.

If I just maybe solved the iCloud problem by signing into it today, maybe that won't keep popping up.

QUESTIONS:
- 1. If I can keep the OS working well enough, should I try to uninstall the latest Windows Update? Since I think that was what started all my troubles?
- 2. Or should I just go for the total reversal back to Windows 7 Pro like I had it before? I checked the Dell websites and the news wasn't exactly encouraging. Dell hasn't checked the Latitude E6410 with Win 10. I may be jumping the gun.

Once more, thanks a million to all you folks who are generous with your time and brainpower to help out a guy in a pinch.

If you were having these problems before upgrading then I agree with Paul. Upgrading a system that is not running smoothly is probably not going to fix the issues. A thorough cleaning of the inside of the machine is the easiest first step for heat problems.

Another thing to consider once you have cleaned it out is the addition of a case fan, if you have a spot to mount it. Or another one, if you already have one. Dont forget to make the airflow to move from the inside of the case outward.

DONT USE A VACUUM CLEANER to clean out the dust - it could generate static and do all kinds of damage to your system board and RAM. Canned air or clean/dry air from a compressor is the preferred method.

OK end of week report: I seem to have fixed something with the fan.

perhaps something was slowing up the fan and it needed a blast of canned air to get it rolling again. Anyway, there is nowhere near the amount of heat collecting at the bottom of the laptop.

I lucked out at the Logitech site and located a couple of updates that I installed via thumb drive. One thing I noticed: Windows 10 doesn't make it easy to see the USB drive or its contents. You need to poke around in the File Explorer and un-hide it.

That seems to have made things settle down a little bit. But I wouldn't call it smooth sailing. I ran out of time and had to get packed so the wife and I could head out of the heat up to the cabin in the mountains. I happily left the Dell Latitude E6410 behind until Monday.
